Compiling xml2

1. Extract xml2 tar ball

 tar zxvf ./xml2-0.4.tar.gz

2. Modify compiling option in “configure” file

search line between 3428-3470, replace “libxml” with “libxml-2.0″

for example:

From

[bash]
    { (echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors \"libxml\"") >&5
  ($PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libxml") 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); }; then
  pkg_cv_XML_CFLAGS=`$PKG_CONFIG --cflags "libxml" 2>/dev/null`

To

    { (echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors \"libxml-2.0\"") >&5
  ($PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libxml-2.0") 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); }; then
  pkg_cv_XML_CFLAGS=`$PKG_CONFIG --cflags "libxml-2.0" 2>/dev/null`

3. Run configure
